Unfortunately Audi seems like all those Japanese brands - just offering an alternative to MB & BMW. Having no own character at all.

Once the AWD (Quattro) was Audi's main advantage - now all it's rivals offer optional AWD systems.

Vorsprung durch Technik ... What Technik? LED lights? Direct Injection engines?

Can somebody tell me some technological advantage Audi has over its direct rivals?

Just like Lexus, Infiniti etc ... Audi can sell 2 million cars per year - but the brand will still be seen as an alternative to MB & BMW.

With Audi / Lexus / Infiniti etc. people buy an anti-BMW or anti-MB.

It's really sad all some brands can offer (image wise) is "being an alternative".

A markezing homework for all of you. Let's talk about brands ...

NAME ME THE REASONS WHY CHOOSING AUDI BRAND (or LEXUS / INFINITI) OVER MB AND BMW BRAND. WHAT SPECIAL VALUES, IMAGE, MESSAGE AUDI BRAND OFFERS THAT BMW & MB CAN'T / DON'T OFFER?
Man, you are too harsh. While I do think Audi is perceived - fairly or unfairly - as an alternative to the other two at least here in States. It does have a more Teutonic image. A purer interpretation of German design that both BMW and MB has watered down recently.

Yeah, fine. What they have done in the last 10 years is quite amazing.
If only they sold well in America, and they would be the biggest luxury brand in the world.

In case any one was looking for a perfect example of an 'ad hominem' attack, here is one...

Re: Audi A4 outsells 3 series in germany. TT outsells z4, A6 outsells 5 series
Call me cynical, but sometimes I wonder if BMW/Audi/Mercedes pay some of our forums members to be obsessed with their car brand and sing praises about them. I'm confident that some members (not naming names) would sell their children and their left testicle for a BMW/Audi/Mercedes badge.

Don't get me wrong. If one of the car makers paid me, I'd be happy to scour every forum and declare my love for the car maker. But, alas, no one has approached me so I have little will to do so.

Still it makes for a wonderful laugh. Keep it up guys! .

Note: This post have very little to do with the topic at hand, so it may be deleted. I just had to make a snarky comment.

Eni would give his two "kidneys" to go on the front of his Beemer

Audi simply pays me more than Merc and BMW
